Got this in my Email earlier this morning and thought it was worth sharing:

These are things Ive actually run into on gaming sites I've visited in the past.
-You have to pay a small fee for basic walkthrough and/or game advise that you can get for free everywhere else on the net. -The moderators take the side of the trolls and warn the person being trolled. -The moderators are trolls. -The forum sections are extremely vague as to what is and is not allowed and you get immediate warning or temp bans for posting in the wrong section. -You post a new topic in the section suggest by previous mod who gave you a warning temp ban and you get another warning or temp ban for posting in the wrong section and are referred to post such a topic to the section you previously got warned not to post such a topic in. -The members for the site think your an incompetent noob at gaming just because your new to the site, regardless of any actual experience you've shown. -Most of the forum are Grammar Nazis and will disregard what you have to say if you miss even one punctuation. -Said grammar Nazis will not apply this strict adherence to grammar to themselves or select friends. -The admins keep removing all the good games/walkthroughs. -The site becomes nothing but a huge pile of spam with no real content, then the admins wonder why no body is returning to the site.
